This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 4:14-32. Jesus entering on His public ministry, makes a circuit of Galilee - Rejection at Nazareth.
Note. - A large gap here occurs, embracing the important transactions in Galilee and Jerusalem which are recorded in John 1:29-4:54, and which occurred before John’s imprisonment (Joh 3:24); whereas the transactions here recorded occurred (as appears from Mat 4:12, Mat 4:13) after that event. The visit to Nazareth recorded in Mat 13:54-58 (and Mar 6:1-6) we take to be not a later visit, but the same with this first one; because we cannot think that the Nazarenes, after being so enraged at His first display of wisdom as to attempt His destruction, should, on a second display of the same, wonder at it and ask how He came by it, as if they had never witnessed it before.
